Soft material extrusion is a process used to work with flexible and plasticized polymers, such as flexible PVC, TPE (thermoplastic elastomers), and other low-rigidity materials. This type of extrusion is essential for producing products that require flexibility or elasticity while maintaining strength and durability.
Characteristics of Soft Material Extrusion
- Flexibility: Soft materials are designed to retain a certain degree of elasticity, making them ideal for products that need to withstand deformation without breaking.
- Elasticity and Resilience: These materials return to their original shape after being compressed or stretched, an important feature for applications like seals, flexible tubes, and coatings.
- Chemical Resistance: Many soft materials provide excellent resistance to solvents, oils, and other chemicals, expanding their use in industrial and technical environments.
Applications of Soft Material Extrusion
Soft extruded materials are used in various industrial applications:
- Tubes and Seals: Soft materials are used to produce flexible tubes, seals, and coatings requiring a combination of strength and flexibility.
- Electrical Cables: Flexible cable coverings are a common application of soft material extrusion, ensuring protection and ease of handling.
- Flexible Packaging: Used to create films or bags that maintain flexibility even at low temperatures or during handling.
